The southpaw will be making his second start of the year against the IronPigs. Back on April 28 at Coca-Cola Park, Diamond surrendered a run on six hits while striking out four in seven innings of work.
Pigs C Gabriel Lino has now hit safely in each of the first five games of his Triple-A career. The Maracay, Venezuela native is hitting .263-0-1 with a pair of doubles and two runs scored since being promoted from Reading (AA).
